party invitation

RSVP-worthy card

A party invitation is a request for someone to attend a social gathering or celebration.

It can be formal or casual, printed or spoken: Did you get a party invitation from Sarah?

The phrase often appears in contexts involving children's birthdays, where the politics of who receives one can be fraught: Every kid in the class got a party invitation except him.
